Maybe it's changed in the last year, but I'd triple check. I turned up two weeks before the ISSUE date on my Ancestry Visa, but this was about 6 weeks before my first ARRIVAL date. They told me to bugger off and come back two weeks before my arrival date.
Dunno about coming and going etc, but I reckon it's four year from your arrival date. The issue date is mostly just there because you need to validate your visa (ie arrive in the UK) no more than 6 months after it was issued.
